Re: homeseer, xapconduit, tts.speak and 3 speak event by hs?

[James <james@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The tts.speak messages are normally received by xAP Speech but the
HomeSeer plugin can also receive these and speak them. What you are
seeing here is the plugin receiving 3 messages from the xAP network.
The usual cause of this is a xAPFramework hub being used with multiple
network cards, it easy to fix you just need to add a couple of lines to
it's .config file. (Firewire, bluetooth and ir receivers are all
'network' cards in Windows) .Stuart posted a how to on this here

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xap_automation/message/563

assuming this works and you also don't want HomeSeer to speak these
messages the you need to target the tts.speak message. To do that you
simply modify the last line to this, where PCNAME is the name of the pc
running xAP Speech.

hs.plugin("xAP Conduit").sendxapmessage
"tts.speak",body,"mi4.speech.PCNAME"

Hope that helps

James
